Every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If you turn [a] form in, you get Awardco points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyle to what's important to us in the bank to making an impact with our associates.

When we implemented Awardco, we refreshed everything and synced all service dates to our HRIS. It works flawlessly now—and the person who used to manage that spreadsheet is very happy.

Our caregivers give so much emotionally—it’s intense work. Recognition helps keep them engaged and supported.

Senior VP of Sales & Marketing
NIBCO
We’ve always had some sort of recognition program, but never anything all-inclusive where all associates at every location were engaged in the same program—until Awardco.

Awardco has definitely helped us do recognition even better. Recognizing someone you work with, even if you don’t see them every day, has been empowering.
Ashley Martin

We use recognition as a tool to motivate and encourage our employees—everyone knows Awardco because we actively use it for any and all incentives for employees.
Monica Delgado
Senior Manager of Total Rewards
Americare Senior Living
Recognition fits into our strategies for turnover and helping us retain good caregivers… because everyone wants to know how they're performing. They want to know if they're doing a good job. And sometimes we forget to stop and say thank you. Recognition helps us do that easily and consistently.
Mary Eaves
Senior VP of Operations (Assisted Living Division)
NIBCO
We've put a lot of resources and focus on associate engagement and overall morale and wellness. Because of the initiatives that we've put forth this year, we've realized an 8.2% reduction in our turnover rate.
